What We’re Celebrating!

  • We’re celebrating 5 incredible years of Zelie’s Home—but more than that, we’re celebrating you. Your support helped us transform from The Zechariah House into a fully independent home where moms and babies in Northeast Ohio can find safety, hope, and a fresh start. Since July 1, 2020, we've welcomed women with open arms—and it’s your generosity that made it all possible. Here's to five years of life-changing impact—and the community that made it happen.

  • We’re celebrating five years of incredible growth—and the people who made it possible. From dedicated volunteers who’ve walked alongside our moms, to our trusted programming partners and community collaborators, your support has helped us build a space where mothers truly thrive. This milestone is as much yours as it is ours—thank you for being part of the journey.

  • We’re celebrating how far we’ve come—and where we’re going. In just five years, Zelie’s Home has grown into a strong, supportive community where moms are empowered to thrive. As part of the celebration, Executive Director Erin Hathaway will share a glimpse into the future of Zelie’s Home, as we continue living out our mission to provide holistic care and lasting impact for moms and babies.
